BREAKING: First Exit Polls Have Been Released – IT COULD BE A SWEEP!

Normally exit polls aren’t released until polls close. This is because it is a tradition whereby media outlets obey a self-imposed embargo on voting information under the unproven theory that it might depress turnout on Election Day.

But this year, Slate.com is partnering with data startup VoteCastr, to publish real-time projections of which candidate is winning at any given moment of the day in seven battleground states, any of which could decide who is the next president of the United States.
